Can SM's please respond? I'm curious to see if your store is still open to the public and if you really did receive a 10% cut in salary. Last I heard there some store managers coming in to do online orders but that was a few weeks ago.

Paycut confirmed with auto deposit today. Store closed except for online shopping. Processing online orders takes up the majority of the day, rest is spent with text, adoption, etc. These are 2 task other people normally do so I have that plus all the work I regularly do. Definitely working more but there are others in my region that really dont sell much for gm so they are only going in to their stores 1 or 2 times a week at the most. I know of 3 managers in my region that have already started other jobs, 2 are sticking around until their stores open and they are required to go back m-f, the other is working a p/t gig from home and will keep that for extra income.
I am actively looking for a new job, I work too hard for too little, and now to have a paycut! Other retailers are paying their worker more.
My store is open to the public technically although I’m only allowing them to purchase over the phone and I drop the bag outside the door since we don’t have any supplies besides what I’m rationing from home. Region wide was 10% although some were exempt as they are at their state’s minimum wage for salaried employees/contractual carry overs.
Store open, limited staff, mainly due to all student employees are no longer on campus. 10% cut for salaried (myself) but not hourly staff. No help from the Home Office with any protection. Daily emails are wasteful-staying 6 feet away is possible, impossible to not touch surfaces that others have touched. No bathroom facilities in my building, therefore no sink to frequently wash out hands. No mask, sanitizers, no support from the home office (again, other than useless emails).
Wonder if top brass took a paycut.
No, my store(s) aren't open, staff all furloughed, 10% pay cut was communicated both via email and in a physical letter confirming its 'necessity' for the -some- that it applied to. Given there's another major call coming down the operations pipeline tomorrow, no telling what new bad news will come. Trust me, if you're not in the SM game, right now you're not dreading the late in the day conference calls like those of us who are, do.
Running a 3million dollar store with a 10 percent paycut...
Are SM the only ones getting pay cuts ?
What about CT managers or ASM
My store is open public 3 days a week. My entire staff was laid off, so I am doing the work of all my staff with a 10% cut in pay (verified in ESS). It sickens me that Follett just this week started talking to the mangers about masks/register shields/cash handling. My store never shut, I'm putting myself and my family at risk for less money (we are near hot spots with cases exponentially increasing every day). Leadership has sent weekly messages to the colleges, but I have yet to hear from them. It really shows that Follett puts their business before their people.
We are closed to the public. I am the only associate in the store working. I come into the store daily, my pay was cut. The work load is too much for one person for a store my size. The struggle is real!
I dont get paid until Friday but I am assuming it will have a pay cut.
Store closed but open for online orders. Honestly, behave very few orders, a handful a week maybe. I go in to the store about 1 or 2 times a week for a couple hours, call in to conference calls, and process a few book orders a week.maybe working 8 hours a week mostly from home.
If anyone claims they are working full time, 40+, what the heck are you doing?
Store open, skeleton crew, no customers really.
Yes, cut in pay. Yes, doing more work than I would normally (or I should say different) do.
Paydays were in fact moved to Thursday as of last pay period after they bumped close and commit up by 2 hrs. :)

Paydays are still Friday, just to clarify that point. If you don't get paid tomorrow, then be concerned. We had one paycheck come off cycle on a Thursday recently, other than that it is Fridays.
I am an SM who is still open to the public. People can walk into my store, we have done what we can to highlight that we want them to social distance. I received a pay cut. It is a true story.
I have a team working daily for online orders and other needs, but we are open by appointment only. Doors are locked.
As for pay, not to fear monger but I actually didn’t get paid this morning. Hoping it’s just delayed back to Friday due to a staffing shortage and not anything worse. Can anyone out there report if they got paid or not, let alone a pay cut?
